They probably realized after all these years that most teams on their free plan have no intention of ever upgrading, especially if they haven't done so after a full year of use. No point in taking on the costs to store all their data forever.
- rekoil 2y agoThe pricing is insane. Maybe it makes sense for some businesses (we have it at work for sure), but I'm in 9 Slack workspaces currently, and only 3 of those are connected to any sort of business use.
- jerlam 2y agoSlack doesn't seem to have any pricing options for a general community, only for clearly defined business groups with clear onboarding/offboarding procedures. They charge by the user, by the month, so any kind of publicly open group seems impossible to fund.
